Sixteen Eggs, Four Trays

Morning light found sixteen eggs waiting like a quiet little flock on the bench.

Four trays stood ready. Spike asked: how many in each if we share fair?

Sixteen shared by four is four each, Spike said. Not five because one egg looked famous.

Suzy counted tray one: four. Tray two: four. Tray three: four. Tray four: four — honest and level.

Four and four and four and four make sixteen — she checked by pointing once per egg.

Pavlova supervised like a fluffy accountant and added zero eggs by staring.

Adventure Cap wanted to race the trays. Thinking Cap habit said walk soft — shells are not toys.

Little Thunder sniffed and kept his mahogany distance from omelette ambitions.

Kids: sixteen crayons in four pots — four in each pot. Count each pot once.

Farm maths is grouping that living things can trust.

Tools remind Spike to plan the share. Spike still carries the tray level.

Care means counting before you boast.

Sixteen. Four trays. Honest.

Sixteen ÷ four = four each.
